A new paper published this week in the journal Nature describes how researchers pieced together the entire molecular structure of the protein shell of the HIV virus using GPU-based simulations. This remarkable achievement not only paves the way for new therapeutic approaches to AIDs, but establishes GPUs as franchise players in the molecular dynamics simulation game.
